Working with a lot of Guangdongers (Cantonese), my diet has seen a radical shift. Mrs. Stevo likes pork: Pork for breakfast, pork for lunch, and (you guessed it) pork for dinner. I eat a lot of pork. Mostly very spicy pork, Mrs. Stevo being from fiery Hunan.

aside: Hunan girls have a reputation as being fiery – I will say that is well deserved.

The Guangdong boys, on the other hand, eat duck. Duck for lunch, duck for dinner. Cantonese Roast Duck, stewed duck, duck soup, duck heads, duck, duck, duck, duck, duck. Growing up in Canada duck wasn’t on the menu. For some, the children of duck hunters or farmers, yes. For moi? Nay. I didn’t eat duck until I came to China.

One night last week we had goose (which in Chinese is three character – two of which are duck and chicken – I guess the goose covers all bases). Soon, I will be the Foreign King of Water Fowl.

I’m not complaining. Nay. It’s a pleasant change from pork.
